September Gathering
Laurel Park Celebrates 100 Years
Residents gathered Saturday, July 5 at the town’s Laurel Green Park to mark a milestone. A Centennial picnic of BBQ, beer and festive jazz tunes were enjoyed by many on a summer afternoon . Laurel Park incorporated in 1925 but history dates back to its beginnings in the late 1800s as a recreation destination. Today nearly 3,000 people call it home including some of Somersby Park’s very own.

Preserving Beauty
Somersby Park residents represented half of the attendants during Laurel Park’s “Community Eco-Enviro Workshop” presented by Steve Pettis of the NC Extension Service. The community learned about sustainable gardening practices, implementing wildfire-resistant landscaping and helping erosion control. Future meetings are scheduled as we continue to enhance our natural beauty and continue to enjoy living in the Western North Carolina mountains.
